With an astounded look on his face, Bob looks to Marissa
and says "What makes you think i lied to
you?".

After a brief pause, Marissa ever
nervously says " When you got the tape
out of the glove compartment, I noticed
two passports, How is this a spurt of
the moment decision if you already had
this planned?".

With a gazed look, And a feeling
of unexpectance, Bob says: "Marissa, I
know who you are, and what you are. It
has been my job to
study you for the last six months. I
have some things i need to explain to
you, and I need your undivided
attention".

"STOP THE VAN!!", Marissa yells.
Bob only speeds up, And yells
"KRISTEN!!, YOU MUST LISTEN TO ME IF YOU
WANT TO LIVE!!"....

Now crying, and full
of fear, Marissa says "What do you want
from me!?"

Bob only says, "Clear your head, I mean
you no harm! Now you must compose your
self and listen to what i am about to
tell you."

After Marissa agree's, Bob pulls into a
roadside rest area, And shows Marissa a
badge:
"My name is Jaun Hinsley, I am with
the Department of Defense, With the
United States Government, Your life is
in extreme danger, And it is my job to
get you to safety, Now you are going
with me whether you want to or not, If
you'll calm yourself down, I will
explain things to you, And make this
whole ordeal easy for both of us."

In utter shock, Marissa realizes she has
no choice, And decides to relax herself
enough to get a grip on her emotions.
Marissa then states: "If it's about
those computer discs i stole in Detroit,
I can explain!, I only wanted to find
information about the payroll of the
City Employees, As i have reason to
believe Chairman David D'Grero is taking
bribes. And those discs hold all the
proof i need to get him out of office,
And i haven't even LOOKED at them yet."

Bob says "Listen to me Marissa, It IS
about those discs, and you have NO IDEA
what you did, now listen to what i'm
about to tell you"

And with that, Bob continues:...
"I know your real name is Kristen
Arnold, And I also know you believe the
government had your father killed, And
you think you can get revenge."

Bob continues
"The government did NOT have anything to
do with your fathers abrupt death, It
was in fact the actions of a liberated
group of terrorist out of Istanbul
Turkey, And they have an inside guy in
Detroit, And yes It IS David G'rero. And
those discs you have, Have every listed
member, Address, Names, Their entire
secrets, And everything about them on
it. Now, they KNOW you have those discs,
And they want two things. Number One,
Their discs back, And number two, You
dead."

As Bob continues....
"You didn't need those Prescriptions, It
was a set up to get you there so i could
meet you there, And the Clerk was in on
it also. It was the safest place we
thought to pick you up. The US
Government has wanted this guy for a
LONG time, But we didn't have the proof
to nail him. With your cooperation, We
can promise you COMPLETE safety, And a
normal life. To make it short, We want
those discs."

With a dizzy head, And maybe a few
symptoms of shock, Marissa cries "But
what about my father!, Doesn't that mean
anything to you!!!! You're so worried
about YOU, And those damn discs, But
that doesn't to ANYTHING for me, or my
father!!, What have i done!!"

Realizing the sun is starting to rise,
Bob starts the van and starts driving
away..and says:
"Marissa, I knew your father personally,
He was one hell of a guy, and for what
it's worth, He would be so proud of you
right now. You see, Your father also
knew about the Turkish liberalists, And
he was with us, just as i hope you are."
Even more, Bob explains...

" You see, your fathers death was surely
a tragedy, And i felt as though a part
of me left with him. Your father, Did
not drown in Lake Michigan during a
storm, He was shot to death in a
gunfight outside of Romulus Michigan,
And the truth had to be hid because of
national security. He was the best
Sergeant i have ever worked under, And I
really tore him apart to not be able to
tell you the truth about him. You were
very young at the time, He always said
he'd tell you when you were old enough
to understand, But That won't happen
now, God Rest his soul., And i gave him
my word that I'd be there for you if
anything like this ever happened."
"I want revenge for your father as much
as you do, And I know we can nail this
jerk, I promise you that!, I know this
is a lot accept all at onced, But it's
the pure truth."

Bob drives, And they both remain silent
for a while. Bob feels really bad for
the ladies situation, and against his
rules, and better judgement, He gives
her a hidden ultimatum, to let her make
her own choice now. So as it is now 7:40
am, Bob puts eight, one hundred dollar
bills on the console, along with a 357
magnum, and a cell phone, and a fake
i.d. made for her, and says:

"There's a bus station, I think I'll
stop for a few minutes and stretch my
legs. There's a soda machine if your
thirsty, I'm going to the Men's room,
I'll be back in 15 minutes."

As Bob walks away, he is surely hoping
she will stay, But knowing he left
everything she needs on the console, he
doesn't know what to expect when he
returns. So after about 10 minutes, he
walks out of the station, and the fog
prevents him from seeing if the van is
still there. So as he turns the last
corner, Bob looks up and sees that the
van
is....

Chapter
Six

...MISSING!! Upon closer inspection he
spots something lying on the ground by
where he left the van, The cell phone
smashed to bits. A quick glance around,
he notices a rental car parked off to
the side of the station that wasn't
there when they had pulled up. He
approaches the car with caution,
glancing in the rear window he notices a
body slumped over in the back seat. He
opens the door to find the body of Phil
dead, a gunshot wound in the head.

"Oh my GOD!!" "They must have followed
us!" he mumbles to himself. Bob has no
time to call the proper authorities
about Phil he needs to find Kristen
fast!
He hot wires the rental car and takes
off in the direction of her house. They
must be taking her back there to get the
discs.

In the meantime.......
Blindfolded, gagged, and tied layng in
the back of the van is Kristen. She can
hear two men speaking a foreign
language.

"Where are they taking me?" she
questions to herself.

The ride seemed like an eternity finally
the van comes to a stop. Kristen had
been fumbling trying to get herself
untied. She had succeeded in getting her
hands loose.
She waits.... She hears the van door
open and shut and waits to hear if both
doors have been opened and shut. YES!!
....She waits a few moments more and
hears her abductors voices in the
distance. She removes her blindfold and
the gag and cautiously gets up to view a
huge estate.

"Who owns this?" she
questions to herself, then the pieces
start falling together. "This must be
David D'Grero's estate." "I have got to
get outta here!"

She starts to open the
sliding door on the van. Being old, it
makes quite a noise.
The noise does not go unnoticed by the
two Dobermans that protect the estate.
They run to the direction of the noise.
Kristen just starts to get out the van
when she sees the two dogs heading her
way......
